Chorus:
G Em
Smokey mountain memories, bout' my home in Tennessee
C D D7
Yesterday keeps callin' me, callin' me home
G Em
Mountains rising in my soul, higher than the dream in know
C D G
Misty eyes they cling to me, in my smokey mountain memories
Verse 1:
G Em
An old gray man with dog asleep on his feet
Am Em
Plays a worn out fiddle filled with memories
G Em
He smiled with his eyes but the lines on his face
Am D7 G
Told me as much as the tunes he plays
Verse 2:
G Em
Talkin' bout' my smokey mountain memories, pretty girls in Tennessee
C D G
I was such a fool to leave, leave her all alone
G Em
Think about her in my dreams, wonder if she thinks of me
C D G
Always hold her close to me, in my smokey mountain memories

Verse 3:
G Em
Mister play your fiddle please, play some mountain memories
C D
I've been down a lonely road, too far from home
G Em
Nothing left to hold on to, made some plans but they fell through
C D G
Out here nothings left for me, but my smokey mountain memories
Chorus:
G Em
Talking bout my Smokey mountain memories, bout' my home in Tennessee

Yesterday keeps callin' me, callin' me home
G Em
Mountains rising in my soul, higher than the dream in know
C D G
Misty eyes they cling to me, in my smokey mountain memories
